2.3.5.1 Manila LRT Philippines 2.3.5.1 Manila LRT Key Information Network length xxx Operational lines 2 Stations xxx Ridership xxx Fare system xxx Track and Power xxx Technology Automatic train control Commencement of operations December 1984 Background: Metro Manila is the national capital region of the Philippines, encompassing 16 cities, namely, Manila, Caloocan, Las Piñas, Makati, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Pasay, Pasig, Parañaque, Quezon City, San Juan, Taguig and Valenzuela, and the Municipality of Pateros. In addition to the Manila light rail transit (LRT), the region is also served by the Manila Metro Rail Transit system (Manila MRT). Key players: Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), a government-owned and controlled corporation under the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC), owns and operates the system. LRT Line 1 (LRT-1) was initially operated by METRO Incorporated, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manila Electric Company. However, after a turbulent employee strike in 2000, the LRTA decided not to renew the 16-year operations and maintenance (O&M) agreement with METRO and has since taken over the operation of the line. In October 2014, Light Rail Manila Consortium (LRMC) secured the contract to construct the extension of LRT-1 to Cavite as well as provide O&M for the entire LRT-1 for xxx years. The consortium comprises Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) Light Rail Corporation (xxx per cent share), Ayala AC Infrastructure Holdings Corporation (xxx per cent share), and Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings Philippines Pte Limited (xxx per cent share). MPIC is one of the three main Philippine units of Hong Kong-based First Pacific Company Limited. LRTA will continue as a regulating body for the rail transport sector after relinquishing its role of LRT developer and operator to LMRC. Current network: The system comprises two lines that span about xxx km and cover xxx stations. Figure 2.3.5.1.1 provides the route map.

Most of the funds came as soft loans from the xxx. The concessional loan had a xxx per cent rate of interest for xxx packages, and is payable over xxx years with a xxx-year grace period. Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) spans xxx km from North Avenue in Quezon City to Taft Avenue in Pasay City. Ridership: Table 2.3.5.1.2 indicates the design capacity and actual ridership of the urban rail lines in Manila.

There are xxx railway cars grouped into xxx trains. These include xxx first-generation cars, xxx second- generation cars, and xxx third-generation cars. During peak hour, xxx train trips are provided. The first-generation trains comprised xxx-car trains supplied by Belgium-based xxx, South Korea-based xxx (both currently part of xxx) and xxx (now xxx). Over time, most of the cars were configured as xxx-car trains. The second-generation trains comprised xxx-car trains supplied by xxx and xxx and the xxx- generation trains were supplied by Japan-based xxx. Table 2.3.5.1.4 gives the technical details of the rolling stock on LRT-1.

The trains on LRT-2 are more spacious than the trains on LRT-1 and MRT-3. Each train is xxx metres long and xxx metres wide. It has xxx sliding doors per side, xxx units of mounted air conditioners, a public address system, and a capacity of xxx passengers (xxx seated and xxx standing). During peak hour, xxx train sets are deployed. The maximum speed of the trains is xxx km/hr and the travel time between Santolan and Recto is xxx minutes. Tracks are xxx. Power is sourced from xxx on board trains (xxx) and overhead catenary (xxx). An automatic train control (ATC) signalling system is deployed on both lines. xxx, has supplied spare parts for the rolling stock and track guiding system. xxx has supplied spare parts for the signalling and power supply systems. xxx has supplied spare parts for the power supply system. Fare system: An xxx based on xxx is used for fare collection. The LRT-1 fare was increased to PHP15 in 2003 but fares on LRT-2 have remained unchanged. The new fare matrix for LRT and MRT will be based on the ‘PHP11 boarding fee plus PHP1 per km’ formula, where users are charged based on travel distance. It will raise the maximum fare on LRT-1 to PHP30 (instead of PHP20 currently) and that on LRT-2 to PHP25 (instead of PHP15). The maximum fare on MRT-3 will increase from PHP15 to PHP28. Key issues: While LRT-1 serves at capacity, LRT 2 remains underutilised. Currently, xxx trains (xxx light rail vehicles) run every day although the ideal number is xxx trains (xxx light rail vehicles). The number of trains plying the LRT-1 route was down to xxx in 2013 from xxx in 2012 while that of LRT-2 was down to xxx from xxx. This has translated to a higher load factor for both lines (xxx per cent for LRT-1 and xxx per cent for LRT-2). The growth in passenger volume has been constrained due to insufficient number of trains operating during peak hours. The condition of the trains has been deteriorating and LRTA is encountering problems in sourcing spare parts for trains that have been running for xxx years. XX www.globalmasstransit.net Philippines The government has announced plans to increase the fare of the urban rail systems in Manila but the announcement has sparked protests. Currently, the LRT fare is PHPxxx per trip but passengers pay only PHPxxx and the government provides PHPxxx (xxx per cent of the fare) as subsidy. Similarly, the MRT-3 fare is PHPxxx per trip, but passengers pay PHPxxx and the government provides the remaining PHPxxx (xxx per cent of the fare). The fare increase is being justified on the grounds that it is unfair for the rest of the Philippines to subsidise travel in Metro Manila. In addition, the government expects to generate PHPxxx billion to fund development projects. Extensions/ Capital projects: The ongoing capital projects are discussed below. xxx: The project involves extension of the line by xxx km from Baclaran station in Parañaque City to Niog in Bacoor, xxx; the construction of xxx intermediate stations, xxx satellite depot and xxx intermodal facilities; and the acquisition of xxx train sets. Of the total length, xxx km will be elevated and xxx km will be at-grade. The extension is expected to increase daily ridership by xxx passengers. The xxx stations after Baclaran are xxx. The intermodal facilities are at xxx, xxx and xxx. Entailing an investment of PHPxxx billion, the xxx extension is the DoTC’s largest public private partnership (PPP) project to date. LRMC has committed to invest PHPxxx billion (about xxx per cent will be debt). It is expected to secure xxx and begin construction by xxx. Service is expected to start by xxx. The government will acquire right-of-way for the extension and the satellite depot. It will also procure xxx rail cars funded through a grant from xxx. xxx: The project involves the construction of a xxx-km eastern extension of LRT-2 from Santolan in Pasig City to Masinag in Antipolo City. The line will be constructed as an elevated guideway or viaduct. The route will extend from the Santolan station along Marcos Highway in Pasig City up to the intersection of Marcos and Sumulong Highway. The extension will have xxx new stations. These are the xxx stations. The government will fund the project cost of PHPxxx billion. Funding of PHPxxx billion has been allotted for the project. The government will fund the construction of the line; procurement of rolling stock; installation and commissioning of the signalling, power supply, and telecommunication systems; as well as the integration of the existing xxx with the Masinag extension. LRT-MRT common ticketing: The project includes design, development, installation and implementation of a single ticketing system for LRT and MRT to replace the existing magnetic tickets; provision of the contactless media; maintenance of the system for a period of xxx years; and operation of the xxx.

  • Chapter 5 Through Operation Policy
    CHAPTER 5 THROUGH OPERATION POLICY 5.1 Through Operation Plan 5.1.1 Advantages of Through Operation Through operation will bring advantages to both railway users and railway enterprises. 1) The advantages for railway users are the alleviation of congestion at terminal stations; and the reduction of transport time by eliminating the necessity of changing trains. 2) The advantages for railway enterprises are the reduction of construction cost and rolling stock cost : and the enhancement of competitive power against other means of transport. 5.1.2 Draft of a Through Operations Plan We will study the possibility of through operations, including the track sections for which construction is already being planned, for the transportation authority responsible for railways for the Manila metropolitan area. A route map of these track sections is shown in Fig. 5.1.1. Of the track sections illustrated, we will study the following tracks, including LRT Line 1 and LRT Line3 that are already in operation, as well as planned tracks. No planning will be carried out for MRT Line 2 and LRT Line 4 because the through operations in the study results will be very complicated. (1) Plan proposal 1) Through operations on LRT Line 1 and LRT Line 3 ① Through operations at the Monumento Station in the north ② Through operations in the vicinity of the EDSA Station in the south Furthermore, LRT Line 6 now being planned is included in LRT Line 1. 2) Improvements and through operations for North Rail Line and MCX Line ① Through operations based on elevation of the track between Tayuman and Vitocruz (use existing track bed) 5 - 1 ② Through operations based on placing the track between Tayuman and Vitocruz underground (shorten by using a separate line) (2) Prerequisites for the comparative study 1) Date for start of through operations will be 2015.

  • Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol.89 (2016), pp.9-16 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijast.2016.89.02 Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System Tomas U. Ganiron Jr IAENG, Hongkong College of Architecture, Qassim University, Buraidah City [email protected] Abstract This study focuses on the different elements of Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 1 in Metro Manila with the aim of characterizing its technological evolution and putting in context its impact in terms of what it is best designed for and what it can deliver. The study provides the concept of understanding the recent operation and developmental resolutions that the management of LRTA line 1 is providing as a preparation to uplift the socio-economic conditions of the commuters. Through the application of technology and scientific principles by means of transportation engineering for managing the facilities of the LRTA line 1 system, the system can provide safer, more rapid, more convenient, economic and environmental friendly way of transportation for the increasing demand of commuters. However, LRT 1 is best designed to substitute conventional railway services on routes where much higher capacity is required and to reduce travel time, further improving the railway service, also against other modes, therefore leading to mode substitution. Keywords: Highway engineering, railway transit, road engineering, transportation engineering 1. Introduction The traffic jams in Manila are staggering. Only a few traffic lights often disregarded separate the combatants. Every one force his way across the junctions, thus blocking everyone else and so the government decided to find a solution.

  • 4) Shops Around LRT Stairs at All LRT Stations, Food Stall and Copying
    MMUTIS Appendices 4) Shops around LRT stairs At all LRT stations, food stall and copying service are operating under the LRT stairs. They occupy the space not only under the stair but also in the outer area depriving space for passengers and pedestrians. 5) Loading and unloading activities of jeepneys Jeepneys are more convenient for passengers because they stop at any point along the route to pick up or unload passengers. From the viewpoint of efficient traffic operation, disorderly behaviour of jeepney is a main factor that reduces the capacity. The problem is often observed at the exit side of intersection and in front of LRT station. In the former case, vehicles queuing inside the intersection block the flow on the crossing street. In the latter case, jeepney even waits on the busy street until they get enough passengers. They pay little attention to the impact that they give on the traffic flow. 9.9 Proposed Improvement Plan Improvement plans have been prepared for the bottleneck and problematic intersection/area along the route. In addition, rehabilitation of street lighting facility, application of pavement markings and removal of shops around LRT stairs are proposed for the entire route. Measures that can be implemented under the existing condition are selected and proposed here. Further study is necessary for some measures, as there are other projects or plans such as LRT Line 2 or EDSA LRT at these locations, which create additional demand or change in the pattern of vehicular and pedestrian movements. As mentioned above, congestion is created by the fact that there are many pedestrians along the route, particularly near LRT stations, while sidewalk is narrow and often occupied by street vendors.

    CHAPTER 5 PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Supplementary Survey on North South Commuter Rail Project (Phase II-A) in the Republic of the Philippines FINAL REPORT CHAPTER 5 PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING 5.1 Examination of Preliminary Construction Plan The construction of NSCR will require careful planning and organization, given the magnitude of the works, time constraints and the location of the works on busy national and arterial roads within Metropolitan Manila and Bulacan Province. 5.1.1 Temporary Works 1) Temporary Access to Site It is necessary to apply countermeasures flooding during heavy rain season because of the low ground level between Malolos and Caloocan. There is no problem with an access road to the site along the main road in this area. However, it is necessary to consider to construct temporary access to site far from main roads. In swampy areas between Malolos and San Fernando along the PNR Route, it is necessary to construct a temporary steel stage for machinery or materials transportation during construction. It is necessary to install sheet piles to avoid an intrusion of ground water during construction of the substructure. 2) Sufficient Space for the Works There are some narrow ROW sections between Malolos and Caloocan along the PNR Route. During construction of elevated structures, it is necessary to have more than 15m width for access road to secure access of many trucks, truck mixers and other construction equipment transportation to the site. After construction, the temporary access shall be maintained more than 15m width as a service road for maintenance or emergency evacuation.
